Find and Fix Causes: Your physician will need to check for several inherited and acquired medical conditions that can affect your cholesterol levels. Another alternative is to see a lipidologist (physician specializing in lipid and lipoprotein disorders). You can find a lipidologist at www.Lipidboard.Org (click "verify status", then search your state).

High cholesterol: It appears that you have inherited your high chol. You should eat low fat foods but this will not be enough. You will need to take medicine class of drugs called statins. These type cause very little problems. Keeping your chol. Low will add years to your life and certainly less damage to your arteries. Talk to your doctor.
